Interesting fact

The 1910 Peruvian 5 Soles coin featuring the "In Hoc Signo Vinces" motto is a rare and unique piece, with only 500 coins minted. It's made of 90% gold and weighs 2.3404 grams. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of political turmoil in Peru, with the country experiencing a period of civil war and political instability. Despite this, the coin still features the symbol of the Peruvian flag, the "Sun of May," which represents the country's rich history and cultural heritage.
